Man's Book Gains Left-Wide Attention
Anton Jäger's book on hyperpolitics explores recent shifts in political engagement, identifying four distinct eras: mass politics, post-politics, anti-politics, and hyperpolitics. He argues that contemporary movements, such as Black Lives Matter and climate protests, are characterized by fleeting, decentralized, and digitally driven mobilizations that lack formal organization or institutional ambitions. Jäger contends that both the left and right are increasingly hyper-politicized but struggle to establish durable organizations due to declining faith in traditional institutions and the influence of private funding. He also describes Trump-era US politics as Bonapartism, driven by passive support rather than strong mass movements, and warns that rising hyper-political currents threaten the re-establishment of meaningful political structures.
